Mix up your Christmas table setting with textures, varied heights and multiple light sources. Think about what will work with your surrounding decorations, the colour schemes in the room and how big your table is. As you need room to pull those Christmas crackers!
Introducing different textures is easy, the simplest way would be laying down a wreath in the table centre or trailing a garland down it's length. Finish the look off by wrapping a string of fairy lights into the garland so it can peep through the leaves and winter foliage.
To create some interesting heights to your table utilise glass containers, like small bell jars and indoor lanterns, to spotlight some of your favourite candles. Christmas Lanterns are great to bundle a string of micro lights inside; as the fine wire gives the LED bulbs give the impression of fireflies.
